App Description

Enjoy the safety and peace of mind with Virtual Halo in your pocket and on your wrist, knowing it’s there watching out for you in the event of an emergency. Our personal safety system is simple to use, intuitive, and there when you need it. Designed for the iPhone and Apple Watch with sports enthusiasts, adventure seekers, travelers, college students, families, independent professionals and the elderly in mind.

INSTANT TEXT NOTIFICATIONS
The Virtual Halo service sends notifications through text message to your emergency contacts, indicating the nature of the message (SOS, Check In, or an activity you’re participating in), your nearest location and a link to your specific location on a map.

PRIVACY IS IN YOUR HANDS
At no time are your contacts able to see where you are without you initiating the notification. As the user, you are in complete control over who gets notifications and when they get them; your contacts cannot actively track you through Virtual Halo. We’ve got your back.

SOS
The SOS feature notifies emergency contacts that you are in trouble, with your nearest street address and links to your location on a map. Free to use without subscription.

CHECK IN
The Check In mode allows you to let your contacts know you’re OK, with an optional message, your nearest street address and linked location. It’s a great way to let those close to you know that you’re safe, that you landed at an airport, or arrived to your destination without the need to call people individually.

GOING OUT
Going Out is a proactive feature where you select your activity and duration and when you’ll be back; if something happens that keeps you from turning the feature off by the time you expected to be back, it will send a notification to your emergency contacts letting them know your last known location, activity you were engaged in, and when you were supposed to be back.
